Tucker Carlson's Claims About Western Journalists Are Wrong Says...Putin's Spokesman
Hot Air ^ | February 7, 2024 | John Sexton

Tucker Carlson has announced he'll be interviewing Vladimir Putin soon in a video designed to garner attention for the effort. But like a lot of things Carlson says these days, some of it is pure and obvious bunk. Take for instance his claim about being the first western journalist to bother interviewing Putin.

Speaking of western countries take on the war in Ukraine Carlson said, "Their media outlets are corrupt. They lie to their readers and viewers and they do that mostly by omission."

(snip)

Having established that it's bad for media outlets to lie to their viewers by omission and to engage in propaganda, Carlson then preceded to lie to his viewers by omission and engage in propaganda.

"At the same time our politicians and media outlets have been doing this, promoting a foreign leader like he's a new consumer brand, not a single western journalist has bothered to interview the president of the other country involved in this conflict, Vladimir Putin," Carlson said.

Here's what Tucker Carlson isn't telling you, according to Putin's own spokesperson at the Kremlin. In fact, Putin has received numerous requests for interviews from western journalists who are not only willing but eager to talk to him. But Putin has refused to talk to any of them.

"It's pretty embarrassing having the Kremlin blow a hole in your explanation for the interview before the interview even airs. In any case, Carlson's claim that no one has "bothered" to interview Putin is the kind of lie by omission he's supposedly against. In fact, many outlets he's judging to be failures have put in requests for an interview with Putin, it's just that they've been rejected for not being pro-Putin enough."

Tucker is going to post the entire, raw, unedited interview on X and TuckerCarlson.com.

The fakestream press would selectively edit the carp out of it.

Peskov punked Tucker with the fact check. It was pretty funny actually.

Putin has been seen as the “go-to” interview for quite some time. Journalists and interviewers from all over would jump at the opportunity to interview him. However, apparently Putin has rejected most of them (especially from the West). And, he’s smart to do so. He’d also be smart to insist on questions beforehand and to have the right of final approval. Most national leaders have similar protocol. After all, it is THEY who want to set the narrative.

They were refused because they are failures. Every question would begin with the word Trump.

Hot Air,... Funny how Zeeper FReepers want to read and endorse the Ultra Leftist Democrat, Lie By Omission Propagandist Website, that normal FReepers have rejected for Decades.

I guess The Hill has improved to telling "Good Lies" now.

Well, we all know that Snakes infest The Hill, and Snakes Lie, right there on the ground.

Peskov duped Tucker into interviewing one of Putin’s doubles! Classic!
